The silver color was exactly what I wanted. However, the texture was a bit thick and made if difficult to tie. And the knot bulky. I wore the tie with a spread collar shirt and Windsor knot. It would probably work better with a pointed collar shirt and half Windsor knot.

This solid color tie works well with all kinds of combinations of shirt and coat. It's suave and unobtrusive, an understated touch of elegance that doesn't draw attention to itself. It's also long enough to tie a half-Windsor knot.
